The correct answer is as follows:
b) It is easier to compress cotton than to compress a kitchen sponge
- Ceramic bottles break easily, whereas plastic bottles can be folded but not broken easily. Hence, the first option is false.
- It is not possible to stretch ceramic bottles. They have a solid definite shape that cannot be changed. However, the plastic bottles are flexible enough and can be given another shape. Hence, the third option is false.
- A kitchen sponge is a bit rough and hard. It is not as soft as cotton. Hence it is not easy to tear a kitchen sponge. Therefore the fourth answer is also false.
